Match Report

TTA report

Wallace made it 1-0 (35) when the keeper parried an Alston shot. Hearts had a lot of the play but were too dainty and over-elaborate. They equalised with a brilliant solo effort (60) and pressed but they were caught on the break and the impressive Alston scored (80) and again towards the end.
